ture, Is completed the others nearly
so. There is nothing small about the
premises. Houses. openings, timbers,
horses, and the politenoss of the men
at work there, as shown the JOURNAL,
are all big. Everyone appeared to
work like he was as anxious to see coal
going out as are the proprietors, and
hence things are moving with rush.
All have caught the manifest spirit of
the superintendent, Owen Hitchins,
who, on the spot early and late, at
every point directing the multifarious
operations, has the whole series going
forward steadily as clockwork and
rapidly As human power can make
things 90. 1t ought not to be forgot
ten that the successful development
of this property is direct step for
ward also for many people in Frost
burg, and indirectly for all. 1t has
already afforded valuable employment
to workless men, and will continue to
do so just as rapidly as new needs
arise. The operating company is
strong and influential in coal circles,
and we may we'll anticipate long and
prosperous career for this new con-
tributor to the general welfare.
BreUities.-Observe the new adver-
tisement of &c. Lambert, announcing
specially his stock of Holiday goods.
A number of provoking errors
escaped the proofreader hereof last
week. The compositors misread ed
itorial remarks in several vital places.
The JOURNALS Tha nksgiving turkey
was this, year sent in by John l..
Heintz. 1t was a fine fowl, done up
blown and disposed of in a spirit be-
fitting the gratitude of this great
paper.
Rev. James Miller, pastor of the
English Baptist church, was the re-
cipient Wednesday of fine Thanks
giving turkey and an elegant fruit
cake, and he is accordingly very CRATE
full to the good givers.
Two letters, one from Shade Mills,
the other from Homecoming, are un-
avoidably crowded out
A very successful fair is progressing
in Ravenscraft's Opera House under
the auspices of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians.
One of the very best soaps made is
that by our old friend, George Hill, of
this vicinity. He uses ouly pure ma
terials-no adulterations whatever,
and understanding the business thor
oughly, his manufacture is necessarily
of the very best character. Under
these circumstances it is wonder he
is not patronized at home more ex-
tensively--at home, the place which
commands and should enjoy the first
fruits of our patronage in all things.
Changed railroad timetables will
show up next week.
Miss Sarah Griffiths, on Broadway
at head of Frosts' avenue, sent the

fact" and the JOURNAL stands by
the Journal.
The JOURNAL abstains from mention
of its preferences for public position,
but it would like to see DR.. NJ. A. R.
F. Carr elected physician to the aims
house. The position is not one that
calls specifically for courage as med
zeal accomplishment, but we like to
see brave men in all position of respon-
sibility. He has the other eudow-
ments, too.
Notice the change in N. NJ. Deans
advertisement.

Wilson's store sold at auction this

The entertainment Tuesday evening
in Moat's Opera House was most ex-
cellent. All did we'll.
